“I was pushing hard and enjoying myself a lot and for sure I had the feeling to go even faster,” said Delecour. “The chassis with this car is very good but this rally is not easy to come to the finish and in a Group N car the brakes are not at the same level and it is difficult.”

He continued: “I don’t know what I will do next in this car but I would love to do Ypres and maybe Sanremo, they would be good rallies for me but for sure nothing is certain.”
